Good, thank you. So let's begin with verse 1. John, you start with verse 1 of Exodus chapter 12. Please. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months, It shall be the first month of the year for you. He goes to verse three. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month it shall take to them every man a lamb according to the house of their fathers. A lamb for a house. And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbors next unto the house take it according to the number of souls. Every man according to his eating shall make your account for the lamb. Okay, good. And verse 5, please. Your lamb shall be without blemish. The male of the first year, ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats. All right, so Mrs. Graham, I've got a question for you from verse 1. My question is, from where did the Lord speak to Moses and Aaron? In the land of Egypt. In the land of Egypt. Now, Egypt, what continent is Egypt in, Ron? Africa. It's Africa. I didn't know that. And John, from what direction is it from the promised land, Egypt? North, south, east, or west? is from the promised land, it is southwest. Southwest. Bill? Mrs. Grummer didn't get a chance to read a verse or Jacob didn't get a chance to read a verse. We'll pick them up. We'll read five verses. Since we have a lot of verses to read, I've got a structure. I'm going to try to keep a schedule. So they'll start out with verses six and seven. Thanks for noticing that. Egypt is in the continent of Africa. That's right. Egypt is in the continent of Africa. Southwest of Israel. Southwest of Israel. Bill, question number two here for you is how did the Lord change the calendar of the children of Israel? This would be the first month of the year. And what happened in this first month of the year was the Passover. That was going to be the thing that was the first month of the year. He made this the beginning of their years, the first month of the year. And Steve, from verse three, what does it ever mean to take on the 10th day? They were to take a lamb for a house. They were to take a lamb for the house. Now, has anyone ever had a lamb chops before? Any type of lamb? Of course. A long time ago. It's been a while, but this is the lamb. And there were certain requirements of this lamb. It was supposed to be a spotless lamb. They were supposed to evaluate it and look at it for a certain period of time. But in verse 4, Mom, the question for you is, what was one to do if his household was too small? Well, you went to another house and you shared the lamb. You went to another house and you shared the lamb. So if you had a really small family, you were supposed to go to your neighbor's house. And they were supposed to make sure they had enough, but not too much. The point was, everything needed to be eaten. All the lamb, the whole entire lamb needed to be consumed. And from verse 5, what were the characteristics of the lamb? It was supposed to be a lamb without blemish and one year old and it was supposed to be, well it could be from a sheep or from a goat. Okay, that's right. What was that answer? It's supposed to be a lamb without blemish, a male of the first year. So it was a rather young, but nonetheless it had to be a lamb without blemish. Mrs. Korber, go ahead and read verse 6, please. And you shall keep it up until the 14th day of the same month. The whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall feel it in the evening. You shall take up the blood that is striking on the two side posts on the upper door posts of the house, wherein they shall eat it. And Faith, go ahead and read verse 8. Are you there, Faith? Or is that you, Gary? Verse 8. All right, John, go ahead and read verse 8. How about someone else? I thought it was Elaine. Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire his head with his legs and... Yeah, Paul. Okay. Good. Thanks, Paul. I thought it was Faith who was calling, but it's you and Elaine. Faith and Gary. Steve, got a question for you from number six. The question I have for you is on what day, two-part question, number one, first part of the question is on what day? Fourteenth day. Fourteenth day, and at what time? was in the evening. In the evening. This was the time of the Passover. Hi. Good to see you. This was what? The time of the Passover? This was the time. Yeah. On the 14th day, this woman was supposed to kill a lamb. On the 14th day, and in the evening. In the evening. Now, Mom, verse 7, where was the blood of the lamb to be placed? I did have a question on that. Sure. What's the question? Because some places we've lived in, days have the afternoon and the evening. I was wondering what the evening would be in those days. But you know, none of us know. We could all speculate. In the evening now, see, the Jewish calendar, like you're trying to get to, is that their day starts at what time? Do you know, Paul, what time the Jewish calendar day starts? Sunrise, sundown. So is that right? Sunrise, sundown, 6 p.m.? It's when it starts, 6 p.m. And so you're saying, when is the evening? So you're saying the evening is really in the afternoon. In some place, when we live in the South, Southern states, some southern them, they called it evening, good evening, and it was afternoon for me. I just wondered when I was writing that down, it's not a big deal. I mean, I don't know... Okay, I can't dispute what they do in the South, but I would think this would be more the general, the more normal understanding of evening, rather than the Southern understanding of evening. Jacob, when does evening begin for you? About four o'clock in the afternoon, but I go to sleep early. Yes. Okay. still in the middle of the afternoon. All right. So that's what you're trying to get to, right? The sacrifice being at the ninth hour. Yeah, they call that the evening sacrifice, even though it's just three in the afternoon. I would say evening is still, I mean, the normal understanding of it. That's right. I'll do my question, but I forget which it was. All right, number seven. Okay. Where was some of the blood of the lamb to be placed? It was on the side posts of the door and the upper, across the top metal. On the side posts, upper posts. Tammy, verse 8, what three things were they supposed to eat on the evening of the 14th day? The flesh of the lamb, unloving bread, and bitter herbs. Now, Anna, what's unloving bread? It's bread that hasn't been made with leaven. Bread that hasn't been made with leaven. Hasn't. Hasn't, right? That's yeast, isn't it? What's that? That's yeast. Yeast. Leaven is the yeast, that's right. Leaven is the yeast that makes the bread rise and puffy, you know. Elaine, I've got a question for you. How was the lamb to be cooked? In verse 9, how was it to be cooked? He was to be roasted with fire. Roasted with fire. And, um, you want to go ahead? It said boil with water and then roast in fire. I wondered if they were supposed to do both. They weren't supposed to do that. They weren't supposed to boil with water? It says not sun and not with water. Not. not soldered at all in water. Bill? Also, the head was to remain there as well as the legs and the internal organs. All the stuff was supposed to be there. That's correct. That's right. And Mrs. Grummer, for question verse 10, what was to be done to any of the lamb that was not consumed by the household? You shall burn it with fire. You should burn it with fire. Tammy, do you have a question? No. All right, Steve, go ahead and read. Let's read the next five verses. And Steve, go ahead and start with verse 11, please. Verse 11. And thus shall ye eat it, with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye shall eat it in haste." It is the Lord's Passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, against all the gods of Egypt. I will execute judgment. I am the Lord. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. Ye shall keep it a feast by ordinance forever. And Mrs. Grummer, verse 15 please. Seven days shall ye eat of leaven bread, even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses. for whosoever eateth leaven the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be known for Israel. And, uh, Elaine, in verse 12, um, uh, rather verse 11, what are the four ways the children of Israel were instructed to eat the Passover meal? What were the four ways? Name one of the four ways they were instructed to eat the Passover meal. Uh, this is 12. Alright, question number 11, from verse 11. And they were supposed to eat in haste. And Paul, what does haste, eating in haste mean? What does that mean? Yeah. That's right, quickly and hurriedly. That's right. That's what it means. It means in a hurry. So this is how they were to eat the Passover. How were they supposed to eat? In verse 11, in other words, the shoes on, the staff in their hand. In other words, they were going to be ready to go someplace real quick. They were dressed for traveling and they were supposed to eat it real quick. In haste. Jacob, question number 12 there for you. Who did the Lord say he was going to smite? In verse 12. of the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast." That's right. And notice... Notice what it says, "...against all the gods of Egypt." See, notice what it says, "...against all the gods of Egypt." See, Egypt had false gods and some of the plagues were judgment, direct judgment against those false gods. And so, the false gods of Egypt could... Yeah, that's right. The false gods of... He was considered the guy, wasn't he? The false gods of Egypt could not prevent this from happening, what was going to be happening here during the time of Passover. And John... Elaine, did I ask you a question already? John, what did the Lord say He would do when He saw the blood in verse 13? God will pass over them. and plagues shall be upon them to destroy them. Paul, where was that blood placed again? Where was the blood placed? Where was the blood placed? Remember, two side posts and a top post, door posts and a lentil. So on both sides of the door and on the top of the door, that's where the blood was going to be placed. And so in verse 13 that John was talking about, he says, when I see the blood, I will pass over you. That's what the Lord was going to do. He was going to pass through the land of Egypt, looking for homes that had blood on the doorposts, on the left side, right side, top part of the doorposts. And when he saw the blood, He was going to pass over that house. Now as we'll see later on, if there was no blood in the doorposts, in the top top of the lentil, that house would not be spared of the angel of death coming to the house and slaying the firstborn. Did you answer 13 Bill? Oh no, Jacob did. John number 14, answer 14 here for me. Johnny's so Johnny's judge bill. Thank you. Thank you, Timmy Bill question 14 from rich 14. How long would the children is would keep and observe the feast of Passover forever? Forever in ordinance that they were supposed to keep forever and they're still keeping it today. Although they don't understand it Even though that they have the temple was rent 20 from top to the bottom the Messiah came They don't understand the symbolism of it. No, they don't understand of all the events as they occurred in the book of Exodus, but they don't understand the significance of what that blood was. No, they do not understand that significance. You're right. You can explain it to them and then they look at you as if you were the one saying the heresies. Yeah, that's right. That's what they do, isn't it? Yeah. And, of course, in general, Steve, how long where the children of Israel instruct, oh, Bill already answered that one. No, no, no, this is a different question. How long do the children of Israel instruct to eat the unleavened bread? Let's see, first day to the seventh day. Seven days, yeah. Seven days you should eat unleavened bread, from the first day to the seventh day. Unleavened bread, again, bread without any yeast in it. Those rolls beside you, Steve, and those crusts, As you see, most loaves of bread have a story. If you buy a loaf of bread, bread is going to have leaven in it. It will have leaven in it, but the Chum Lisher was supposed to be unleavened bread. It's bread without leaven, without any yeast. It makes it rise. Fluffy and airy, you know, a flatbread. Okay, Elaine, go ahead and read verse 16, please. 16. We'll read five more verses, 16 through 20. You start with verse 16. Yes, please read the verse. All right, uh John 17, please And he shall serve the feast of unleavened bread For in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt Therefore shall you observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever. The first month upon on the 14th day of the month at even you shall eat unleavened bread until the one and 20th day of the month at even. See verse 19. Yes. Seven days shall there be no living found in your houses. For whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger or born in the land. He shall eat nothing leavened, and all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. Okay, we'll talk about these five verses right now. Tammy, verse 16, what was not to be done during the Holy Convocation? No manner of work, except, I guess, the work of getting food ready, which probably included slaughtering the animals, too. No manner of work shall be done, with the exception of preparing the food. That had to be done. Many women were probably participating in that. And I question verse 17 for what land did the Lord bring the armies of the children of Israel? From what land did the Lord bring the armies of the children of Israel? Egypt. Egypt again is in Africa. And so in question number 18, Mrs. Gromer, For how many days were the children of Israel instructed to eat unloving bread? 14 days of the month you shall eat unloving bread until the 1 and 20th day of the month. Okay, so from the 14th day to the 1 and 20th day, so that's a... 1 and 20th, what's happening? 21st. 21st, they wanted 21st. And Elaine, from a question from... How many days was that again? Seven. Seven. Yeah, from the 14th to the 21st. The 7 is the answer? Yeah, if you want to put 7, you want to put from the 14th to the 21st day, or put 7, you know. Or a week. Something like that. A week. A week, we'll accept a week too. Thank you, Anna. We'll accept a week. Tammy. Can you clarify that? Because, okay, on the 14th day at even, so, I mean, the 14th. 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. So I mean, people may have had 8. But at Even, so it's like you don't count that day, I guess, the 14th day. So, if you started at Even on the 14th and then stopped at Even on the 21st, then that would be 7 days. So in other words, if today were the 14th, It's the 24th, but... I'm just trying to understand it in their calendar. Okay. In their time table. And see, they're at even. I'm not sure if it's... Whenever you start, but it's starting and stopping at the same time. It's starting at even. The 14th day at even, the 21st day at even. So it's really not a day until the 15th. No. Or 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th. That's how we get to seven days. So, Elaine, question from verse 19. What would have happened to either the stranger or the one that was born in the land to be cut off from the congregation of Israel? The person that ate something that was leavened. They were not supposed to eat, they were instructed not to eat things that were leavened, but the person that did, that soul would be cut off from the congregation. Yes. All these rules were they, for after, during the actual Passover time, this actual time, when they were still in Egypt and everything, they didn't have those rules then, did they? Or did they? It was the Passover, from the first Passover to the subsequent Passovers. So they had the rules, it wasn't something that was hurried. No, the point, they wanted to be remembered, the part of the Passover is to remember what God did for them. And so they were... Yeah, how could you do it? Because it's the first Passover. It's an instruction that's given in verse 19, don't eat Don't eat things with leaven in it. That's the instruction. I thought you were asking me about the present one, about the subsequent ones. No, I'm asking about all these rules, about the Passover rules. I wondered if they had them, the first Passover. I always thought they hurried up and did this real fast, but I guess they didn't. No, the rules fit with the first Passover. The rules do fit with the first Passover, Anna. It still works if they're in a hurry, because if they're going somewhere, then they make everything ahead of time, without leaven, that way it is less likely to go bad along the way. Yes, that's correct. That's right. Tammy. Well, Leviticus 23, verse 5, the Lord's Passover, the Passover's on the 14th. That was when the Feast of Unleavened Bread starts. Yes. And because it was being instituted right at this time, like Anna says, in correlation with what Anna said, and also with Leviticus 23, what they were going to do subsequently, but they weren't going to have any of this bread with yeast in it with them. They were just going to have unleavened bread. Yeah. Because I always thought that They served this, but they didn't have time for the leaven to work. That's what I remember being taught. They didn't have time, but here evidently they had plans and they just didn't put the leaven. It would be like, we didn't have time for the bread to rise, so we eat it like it is. That must not be right then. They were taking it along the road. Without including the Passover, during their normal days, would they eat bread with yeast in it? I think they would. I think they would. This was a special time, though. Leaven's a picture of sin. I mean, the point of doing it in haste, not letting the bread rise, it still fulfills the overall purpose. Tammy. We haven't gotten to it yet, but in verse 34 it talks about they took their dough before it was leavened. Yes. And they're needing trust, being bound upon their clothes and their shoulders. Right. They were carrying it with them. Yes. I mean, there could have been a combination of not having the time, but there was something more than that the guy was trying to say to them. That's right. I think so. I think so. Mrs. Grammer, question from number 20. What weren't the children original to eat? And what were the children original to eat? What weren't and what were? Nothing but it. and all your hesitations. Matthew 11, and they were supposed to eat unleavened bread only. Tammy, go ahead and read verse 21, please. Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the Passover. And ye shall take a bunch of hips up, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. All right, Mrs. Grummer, verse 23. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians, and when he seeth the blood upon their lintel and on their two sideposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you. Elaine, verse 24, please. He shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever. Andy Lang, verse 25, please. Andy Lang, you want me to read 25? Yes. And it shall come to pass, when ye be called to the Lamb, that the Lord will give you according He has promised that he shall keep the servant. John, question from verse 21. What did Moses say to all the elders of Israel? Okay, to draw out and to take you a lamb according to your families and kill the Passover. What was the answer? He was supposed to draw out and take a lamb and then kill the Passover from the flock. Take one of the lambs. Question number 21. Question number 22, Bill, from verse 22. What was to be done with the hyssop that was dipped in blood? Strike the horizontal beam and the two side posts. That's right. So you have three blotches of blood on the left side, the right side, and the top side. Three, three. Hyssop. Hyssop is like some type of... Think of it as like a... a paintbrush a very rugged paintbrush I mean it wasn't it was a it was a like a weed of some sort you know and so they would they would dip it in the blood and it would be um I mean it won't be very precise paintbrush but it'll be a rugged paintbrush that would be able to do this job of putting blotches of blood on the left side the right side and the um the top side enough to do that job that's right and verse 23 uh Steve, question from there is, what did the Lord say would prevent and destroy the destroyer from smiting the house of the children of Israel? What would prevent that destroyer from smiting the house? When the angel of death, when the destroyer, as it says in this verse, saw the blood, that would prevent that angel of death from entering the house and slaying the firstborn, when he saw the blood. And from verse 24, question from verse 24, Mom, how long were the children of Israel expected to deserve the ordinance of Passover? Forever. Forever. Forever. And Tammy, from verse 25, the question for you is, what was the Lord going to give to the children of Israel? An ordinance. An ordinance. Give them an ordinance. When they came into the land, the Lord will give you an ordinance as he promised. So, an ordinance is a command, a law. In this case, it was one of the feasts. So, there are seven feasts, and this is one of the seven feasts they were to observe. Alright, John, please read verse 26. Go ahead, we've got a question. What's your question? I had to do this real fast today. I thought they were going to be given the land. Yeah, that's right. It does say that. He gave them the land and he gave them a feast. Two things. The land and the ordinance of the Passover. That's right. Thank you. And so, go ahead, John B., verse 26. It shall come to pass when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses, and the people bowed the head and worshipped. And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded, Moses and Aaron, so did they. And it came to pass that at midnight the Lord smelled all the firstborn of the land of Egypt, or the firstborn of Pharaoh, that sat on his throne, unto the firstborn of the captives that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of Canaan. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead. Okay, so a question for you, Anna, from verse 26. What question does the Lord anticipate the children of Israel to ask? No, they won't ask. What does this mean? Why are we doing this? What is a service? What does a service mean? And Elaine, from verse 27, a question for you, kind of a two-part question. I'm sorry, back to verse 26, what was the answer? The question children are going to ask is, what does a service mean? Why are they going to ask, why are we doing this? Why are we doing the Passover? That's the question they were going to ask the children. And Elaine, a question from verse 27, Who did the Lord smite during the time of the first Passover? And who did the Lord deliver? And so this was part of the answer. When the children asked the question, what means of service? The parents were supposed to tell them that part one was God smote the Egyptians. Part two, God delivered the house of Israel. And Mrs. Gromer, a question from number 28, verse 28. To whom were the children of Israel to go, and what did the children of Israel do? Excuse me. They went away, and they did as the Lord had commanded. That's right. That's correct. They went away, and they did as the Lord commanded. It's very important for us to do what God commands us to do all the time. Jacob, a question from Numbers 1st 29. Who did the Lord smite at midnight? All the firstborn of the land of Egypt, and the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, and the firstborn of the captive that was in pretension, and all the firstborn of the cattle. So were there any exceptions here? Any exceptions? No. Only exception was if there was blood in the doorposts, the left, the right, and the top of the doorposts, that and those householders holds none of the firstborn died. But throughout the land of Egypt, which was the majority of the land of Egypt, had no blood in the door, you had the firstborn dying, both a man and a beast. Anna. Now, the mixed multitude that followed them, this is getting ahead of things, but do you suppose that the people in the mixed multitude had also applied blood because they believed? It's very likely. They could be non-Jewish, people who were living in Egypt, whether they were Egyptians or other types of people from other countries. Yes, go ahead. When I was reading this real fast up there, it seemed like for a person who was not a Jew to take the Passover, he had to be circumcised. Yes, that's correct. So I don't know about the mixed multitude, they would probably have to be circumcised too. I don't know, I just wondered about that myself. Yes, we'll talk about that perhaps more later on. But that's correct, that was a requirement, unless they didn't. But it was a requirement. And so, John, a question from verse 30. Why was there a great cry in the land of Egypt? Because there was not a house where one was dead. One was not dead. One was not dead, right? Everyone's right. What was the answer? There was death in every house in the land of Egypt. Yes? I thought it was very interesting in the verse before how the firstborn of a captive in the dungeon. Yes. Think about that, the firstborn in the dungeon. No. From the most important person in the land, the pharaoh of Egypt, the firstborn to sit upon the throne of Pharaoh, whether it's Pharaoh himself or Pharaoh's son, to the person in the dungeon. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31, please. Anna, go ahead and read verse 31 Alright, Mrs. Grummer. Next verse. Is it 31 next? No, 33. 33. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people that they might send them out of the land in haste. For they said, We be all dead men. And Jacob go with verse 34, please. And John verse 35, please. And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses, and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels, silver, jewels of gold, and raiment. So I've got a question for you, Bill, from verse 31. Who said, Rise up and get you forth from among my people, Both ye and the children of Israel. Pharaoh said that. He called for Moses and Aaron in the middle of the night. He reached a point where he broke. And again, the question is, which Pharaoh was this? That's the question we were wondering before in previous classes. Which Pharaoh was this? Steve, a question from verse 32. What were the children of Israel to take The flocks and herds. And who asked to be blessed? Pharaoh. He said bless me also. So Pharaoh asked to be blessed as well there in verse 32. What does that mean also? Pharaoh said to him, also take your flocks and your herds. as you have said, and be gone. And then, kind of a final, kind of an afterthought, he says, and bless me also. Well, why would we say that, though? Because he was distressed. Okay. I believe he was... Yeah, he was broken. Distressed, yeah. That's right. Moses won, God won. And so... All the idols of Egypt... Yes. were destroyed. That's right. There was no more stubbornness left in Pharaoh at that time. No. Until it welled up again later. Where does it say the idols were destroyed? Paul, what's your question? Where does it say the idols were destroyed? He said they were all destroyed. I'm interested. Yeah, that was much earlier. Well, the judgment on the... Maybe that's the gods. Yeah, on the gods, yeah. The previous... Those were idols. previous verses in this chapter. Was it in chapter 11? No, this chapter. Go back to what verse, help me out guys. It's in verse 12, let's see. Verse 12. And against all the gods of Egypt. And we know they were false gods. Verse 12, yes. In verse 33, question from verse 33, Mom, what were the Egyptians urgent upon the children of Israel to send them out of the land? Why were they urgent? To send them out of the land. That's what I put the answer. I don't know why. Because they said they were all dead men. Maybe they thought that the next plague would be the death of everyone. That's right. They said, let's get these people out of here, otherwise we're all going to be dead men. They thought they were going to be dead. They saw the death of the firstborn, and they knew, they saw the power of God, and they said, let's get them out of here, or else everyone's dead. And Anna, a question from verse 34. What did the people take bound up in their clothes and upon their shoulders? They took all sorts of things. They took bread, They took the kneading troughs. They took their dough before... What's king in thoughts? Their dough and their kneading troughs. What is that? Kneading troughs. It's what they use big bowls to pan. Have you ever made bread before, Steve? No. Money, money, but not bread. When you make the type of bread you eat, you get dough, water, yeast, flour, and salt, I guess. And there may be some more ingredients in there. And when you mix that all together... So what they're really saying is taking all the belongings they need. It's the cooking... Think of it as a cooking utensil. There you go. It's a cooking utensil. It's what they used... We don't... At least today, I don't think we use kneading troughs. We just knead the dough on, like, a counter. But maybe they didn't really have a space to knead it. So they would just put it in this big bowl or something like that. Like a trough. You think of a trough for animals. And they were making it every day. It was something they did all the time. So maybe they had a bunch of it they were making. Or they could have some of it sitting there and the other could be procedural. And Elaine, a question from verse 35. What three things did the children of Israel borrow from the Egyptians? Gold, silver, and gold. So those are the three things that they borrowed. Why did they borrow them? Because God was going to bless them. They borrowed it with the intent of not returning it. God said, borrow the Egyptians all these valuable things. But the people gave them to them. So they said... Why were they to borrow them? They were to borrow them so that they could increase their revenue, increase their net worth. They were snakes. You know, understand? They were to borrow... They went next door to their neighbor and said, hey, do you have any... pearl necklaces I could have, and do you have any golden earrings I could use for my trip? And so the point is, it's a way of God giving them valuable things of monetary value. But there was no point of return? No, no point of return. It wasn't intended to be returned. I think it was understood that there wasn't coming back. The people were so glad to get rid of them. I think the Egyptians understood the fact that they weren't really borrowing them. in our strict definition of borrowing but in a loose definition? Tammy, what are your thoughts about that? Well, it seems like this was God's way of providing for the children of Israel so that they would have what they needed for the tabernacle and for the vessels of gold and silver that were going to be in the tabernacle and even the raiment perhaps they would use for some of the cloths in the tabernacle. And sadly, we find out that sometimes they use the skull for the wrong purposes. But that's later on in the chapter. Go to verse 36 please. And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required of them, and they spoiled the Egyptians. Steve, verse 37? Yes, sure. And the children of Israel journeyed from Ramses to... Succoth. Succoth. Okay, about 600,000 on foot that were men besides children. That was a lot of people. A lot of people. And the mixed multitude went up also with them, and flocks and herds, even very much cattle. I don't think that's 600,000 Kazakh women either. And they baked 11 cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt. For it was not leavened. Because they were thrust out of Egypt, they could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any of the dough. Now the sojourning of the children of Israel who dwell in Egypt was 430 years. Now Elaine, question from verse 36. Who gave the children of Israel favor in the sight of the Egyptians? The Lord. The Lord did, in the sense that the Egyptians lent to them all sorts of things, all sorts of valuable things. And Mrs. Grummer, question from verse 37. How many men traveled on foot From Ramses to Sokov, how many men? 600,000. 600,000. And I believe elsewhere in parallel passages, we understand the fact that these men were 20 years old and upward. 600,000 men. It says, besides children. And so we suspect that there were probably an equal number of women of the same age. So we have 600,000 men. More than likely would have had 600 corresponding women. And at least you'd have that many children. So that's 1.8 million people, at the very least, I would say, that came out of the land of Egypt. And so Jacob, a question from verse 38. Name four types of people or animals that came with the children of Israel out of Egypt. Mixed multitude, flocks and herds, and very much cattle. Okay, mixed multitude. And John, for a question for verse 39, what did the children of Israel bake for themselves? Unleavened cakes of dough. Unleavened cakes of dough. Now see, they brought this out of Egypt, but it did not, it wasn't leavened because it didn't take. Yeah, that's right. Yes. I was going to say, and you said it didn't take. If you disturb the bread with the yeast and if it gets in a cold draft, Or if it doesn't work right, the yeast doesn't work. It falls, that's right, or if it doesn't work. See, this bread that they made was so bad, I mean the conditions were so bad, that the yeast didn't work. They didn't even put the yeast in it, right? They heard so. That's right. And so, Now Tammy, how long do the children of Israel dwell or sojourn in the land of Egypt? 430 years. 430 years. That's quite a long time. How many centuries is that, Paul? How many centuries are there in 430 years? About four centuries. Yeah, four centuries. Four centuries plus 30 years. Yeah, four centuries. a long time, from the time that Joseph entered the land of Egypt until the time they left right here. Elaine, please read verse 41 for me. And Mrs. Gromner, verse 42 please. It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel and their generations. And the Lord sent Moses and Aaron. This is the ordinance of the Passover. There shall be no stranger either of them. There shall be no stranger either of them. But every man servant that is brought for a bunny, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. A foreigner in the heart of a servant shall not eat thereof. And what else shall it be? Thou shalt not carry forth, or whatever that means, of the flesh abroad, of, I can't say what this glass is on, of the house, neither shall ye break a bone thereof. All right, so mom, question verse 41 for you. From where did all the host of the Lord come out of Egypt? From the Egypt land. From the land of Egypt, right? All the host of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. That's where they came from, from Egypt. And how many of them were there again, Paul? How many men were there? How many men came out of the land of Egypt. 600,000. 600,000, that's right, 600,000. And Tammy, from verse 42, What was to be observed by the children of Israel and their generation? The Passover night. That's right, the Passover, this night to be observed for all the generations. They were supposed to follow this for a long time, all the generations. And Anna from verse 43, who is not permitted to eat the Passover? No strangers were permitted to pass over. And Elaine, what needed to occur in order for every man's servants to participate in the Passover? What needed to occur in order for every man's servants to participate in the Passover? That's right, that would be circumcised. And Mrs. Grummer? According to verse 45, who was forbidden to eat the Passover? A foreigner and a hired servant. And Jacob lists three Passover procedures that needed to be followed. Three Passover procedures that needed to be followed. In what house shall it be eaten? And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to the Lord, and let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it, and he shall be as one that is born in the land, for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law shall be to him that is home born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. Elaine, verse 50 please. Can I read it? Yes, please read it. Okay. Let no children of Israel have the work and manhood to prepare And Mrs. Grommer, verse 51, please. And it came to pass the selfsame day that the Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies. And so, Jacob, in verse 47, who was expected to keep the Passover? Who was expected to keep the Passover? All of the congregation of Israel and up here in 44, every man and servant that has bought from anyone now has circumcised him. That's right. And John, who is not permitted to keep the Passover? No, I'm a circumcised person. That's right. And Bill, how many laws were in place for the home-born and for the stranger? One. One law. Just one law. For both home-born and for the stranger. Not two different laws, just one law. And Steve, a question from verse 50. From where did Moses and Aaron receive their instruction? From where? From where? From where, from whom, I guess. From where, from whom? The children of Israel. They received their instruction, the instructions were given to the children of Israel by the mouth of Moses and Aaron who got the instruction from the Lord, right? So the Lord is the source of instruction, gave it to Moses and Aaron, Moses and Aaron passed it on to the people. And verse 51, a question from verse 51, Mom, who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies? The Lord. The Lord did this. The Lord brought them out by their armies. And again, how many were there, Paul, how many men came out of the land of Egypt? Do you remember? Well, it was 600,000, right, Paul? And so what's something, Paul, you remember or you learned from Chapter 12? I mean, it was a big chapter, and so we couldn't spend a lot of time on it, but we spent a little bit of time on it going through And looking at the overall verses, this is probably a very, very important chapter in the entire Bible. This chapter talks about the angel of death, about the blood being applied to the doorposts, about God's deliverance. But what is something you've observed from this chapter, Paul? Well, to me, what was revealed was that God is in control and He's also sovereign. God is faithful. He's very faithful. Yes, He is. He is faithful and sovereign. How about you, Elaine? Something that you noticed from chapter 12? Yes, it is a long chapter. Anything else that you've noticed from this chapter? How about you, Mrs. Gromer? I have a question. Verse 32 and 33, it sounds like, it says, Pharaoh says, bless me also. And the Egyptians, you know, the Egyptians knew that if they didn't go, they would all be dead. So was there some kind of for Pharaoh some kind of repenting at the moment? It's maybe a small element of that, Mrs. Grummer. What's that? If it's the same pharaoh. It's likely that it's a different... We were talking about it in previous classes. It's likely that the previous pharaoh was the firstborn. And this pharaoh here is the secondborn son of the pharaoh that just died the night before. Right. And so, yes, he was... clearly Observed all the previous nine plagues and his print was 10th flight was devastating to him I mean if again, he was the second born. He's lost a brother or sister or anything. He's lost a father At the very very very very least you know, and so he says bless me also See if you did any other observations mrs. Grimmer about this this chapter I It is. That's right, it is. How about you, Jacob? Some thoughts you have about chapter 12. You know when I heard the reading of verse 13? Yes. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. I wanted to sing it so bad. Okay. When I see the blood, when I see the blood. So, that's all I wanted to say. Okay, good. I guess what do you want to say or sing? I should have asked Jacob. How about you, John? Something you want to say about chapter 12? Good. Or you can sing, John, if you want. About how eager the Egyptians were to get the Israelites out of the land of Egypt so they wouldn't all die. What was the answer for 23? What did the Lord say I would prevent the destroyer from smiting the house of children of Israel. The blood on the side posts, the blood on the top, the lentil. Any more thoughts, John? No. How about you, Phil? This, oh, I'm practically screaming inside myself. This is a picture of the crucifixion. Yes, it is. Before 2000, yeah, close to 2000 years before. actually took place, I mean... Maybe 1500, but yeah, 1500 we'll say. This is a remarkable thing. The faithfulness of God bringing his people back to the promised land is a major thing in itself. It's his fulfillment there, but the crucifixion is the most important thing, and it really points to that. a test of people for their faithfulness. That's it. That's right. God is faithful. It's a clear picture of the crucifixion. How about you, Steve? Some thoughts you have from chapter 12. Back to chapter 12? Yeah, okay. I think 42 and 43 really sum it up. the ordinance of the Passover. That's right. Very important thing. It's still observed today, but misunderstood by the Jews. But through generations, though. Verse 42 really sums up this whole chapter. I think you're right as far as the purpose and the importance of observing the Passover. That's right. How about you, Bob? Jed, Paul, you have a question? Comment? Well, that was great. You show us the Sure, we can do that, Paul. Do you have access to a computer, Paul, with a printer? I have one at home. Okay. Is it in a box, shrink, or is it at the store? Okay, got it. Is it out of the box? It can be. Paul? If all can be, you can at least read the quiz on the other computer by going to, but I'll mail you one, or I'll give you one to you on Sunday. Okay, well I'll give it to you on Sunday. Remind me. Mom, your thoughts about chapter 12, please. Well, I had, on verse 40 where it talks about the 430 years, and I was trying to remember when we first started Exodus, somewhere at the beginning of Exodus, told how many years they were in captivity, and I just was trying to compare that to the 400 and 30 years. Well, if there's a conflict at all, it's a conflict of when Joseph came into the land. Where was that? Where was that? When did Joseph come into the land? Well, it's 130 years when his brothers gave it to him, and his father. I don't know where that verse is. In the beginning of Exodus, we had that verse. Joseph came in 30 years prior to his brothers and his father. So that's where the 430 starts. When Joseph came in. It's not when his family came? It's when Joseph came, but in the New Testament, it talks about 400 years. I'm sorry, I'm talking over you. You assume though in this chapter here, when you say 430 years, a lot of people didn't live that long. The seed didn't pass over. No, that's right. A lot of these people died. Where is that in here where it tells the number of years in the beginning? Well, I don't know where anything is, because the Bible I learned from I don't use anymore. So you're looking for the first mention of the time? Yes, we talked about that a lot when we studied it. I forget how many years it was. Genesis 15. Thank you, Jennifer. Genesis 15. Oh, I thought it was in the beginning. Fifteen what? I thought it was in the beginning of it. Oh yeah, it's when he has his dream. And your children shall be... Yeah, I know what she's talking about. Fifteen, thirteen. Fifteen, thirteen. Go ahead and read that, Jacob. Fifteen, thirteen. And he said unto Abraham, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in the land that is not theirs, and shall serve them. They shall afflict them four hundred years. So that's four hundred years is when... Afflict them. So this counts when the brothers and the father came, this number in Genesis 15-13. The number we read today in chapter 12 of Exodus reflects when Joseph actually came in. What Bill said was really important, this being a type of the cross, but also Genesis 22 And Psalm 22, those were written before this, but Psalm 22 after this, but still speaking of the same thing, this looking forward to the cross, what Bill said was the most important thing. Steve, are the first books of the Bible written in all the other Bibles, and even in Hebrew? The first four books of the Bible, are they written in all the other Bibles, like the Old American Bible? And also, are the rabbis... They're translated differently. Are they translated in the rabbis' study, too? The rabbis, we read right out of Hebrew. And are they in Hebrew, too? That's how it started. It started in Hebrew. Hebrew was the original language of the Bible. Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. The majority of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, and then we have a translation from the Hebrew into English. And the New Testament was written in Greek. Many more thoughts or comments you have there, Mom or not? Yeah, I just wanted to show, this is Africa, and that little place up there is Egypt, and then this bone up here, Okay, we have to get this on the camera here. Just give us one moment to get this on the camera. And down here is how big Egypt is compared to the United States. I thought that was sort of interesting. It's okay. No, no, no, I guess. It's there. Yeah, except there's a terrible camera work. See, this is Egypt and Africa, and here's how little it is. And here it is compared to the United States. So it looks like Texas has it beat, maybe, I don't know. Can I turn it again now? Would you like? And then here, is it in this color? And here's Cairo up here, and I don't know how far. I really don't know when it ends. The red line at the bottom. Oh, okay. Yes. Tayden, do you have any thoughts or observations about Chapter 12? Thank you for showing the map. Well, it's very interesting that, you know, it seems like the Egyptians, they were basically throwing out the emperors. Yes, they're threshing the emperors. As opposed to, from the beginning when Moses came before Pharaoh, and, you know, they were sort of, he was sort of mocking him, and, no, it's never, never gonna let you leave the land I mean, and not only did they thrust them out of the land, but they were throwing their jewels, their everything, because nothing was more important than their own lives, which they feared greatly. You know, so it was amazing what God showed to them, you know, through all of the things that happened. Right, that's right. And how about you, Anne? Anything you have more thoughts? Tell me, Anne, how about you? Well, earlier we were discussing the mixed multitude and whether they had had the blood on the doorpost and then there was a counter argument that only those which were circumcised could eat of it, but that command was not given until afterwards. So what is your opinion? Well, the The mixed multitude is the multitude that came with them out of the land of Egypt. Whether or not they partook of the Passover is not clear. But we know for future Passovers, they would have to become a proselyte, become a Jew, in order to partake of the Passover. So it's possible that they were in favor, were sympathetic and very sympathetic, were Israeli sympathizers, and they came with them, even though they may not have understood everything that went along with that. Tammy and Steve. Steve, go ahead. The Jewish people today, they observe Passover. Do they eat unleavened bread? Do they do the same rules? I don't think they kill lamb. No, I didn't mean that. Someone does. Oh, they do eat lamb? Someone does. Oh, really? What's at the Passover dinner? When Passover for Jewish people, what's at the dinner? What's at the table? I mean, they've added to it a little bit. They've got bitter herbs, lamb, unleavened bread, they have an empty chair, you know, these are the things. There's other things involved in what their password involves. Tammy? Well, they weren't supposed to continue to apply blood to their doors. No, no. They didn't have to apply blood to their doors. But it was to remind them. But they would eat lamb. Yes. It was to be a reminder of them of what the Lord did. And the only way they could eat lamb was if it was killed. Yes. Okay, so today maybe someone else kills it, but it's killed. Yeah, they get it at the butcher shop. So wait a minute, they get a lamb and they have it killed at the butcher shop? Well, it's not killed at the butcher's shop, it's killed at the processing plant. That's what I meant. In Cherry Hill, there's a shop right in that shopping center that's mostly dead now. Go all the way to the back of that shopping center, there's a really big shop right back there. And in the back of that shop right, there's a Jewish meat store. They service the Jewish community there. They have all the meats and things that are, in fact, people who work in that butcher shop are rabbis. So you can get information. Is there anywhere in the Bible that says kosher in the Bible? Well, the principle of kosherness is the clean and the unclean. You know, that's where they get that from. The Bible talks about clean food, unclean food. But see, they may have gone beyond that a little bit. They think pigs are very dirty. Yes, that's right, because the Bible calls them unclean. That's what the Scripture says. The Bible says that. They get that from the Old Testament, that principle. Because it's a cloven hoof and something else. Chunicud, a cloven foot. Or not a cloven foot, a foot that's uncloven. But you're not Jewish, and we're not at all. To Anna, to Amy, to Mom. Anna? Oh, I know. We'll get it in here in a minute. We're still, we have the side comment here with somebody else, and so we're talking about that. Anna? The kosher that has the queen, there's a Hebrew word, right? Yes. But the King James is in English. So, but if we looked at the Hebrew, we would probably find it. Yes, we probably would. Do you have another thought, Steve? Or not? I gave enough thoughts to you. What was your next thought? Well, they don't have the sacrifice now. That's what I meant, not that they didn't kill all the animals. Okay, I see what you're talking about. They don't have the sacrifice. What do you mean by sacrifice? Sacrifice of the blood? Well, as we'll see later on in the book of Genesis, in a few of the future classes, There was a system. God told him to build a tabernacle and actually have animal sacrifices that would temporarily cover their transgressions and their sins. That's what she's talking about. Now, Tammy, what was your thoughts about chapter 12? Well, I already said that, but I was going to say something about Dana's comment. And now, since we're talking about kosher, I wonder, does it mean clean? Yeah, that's the principle. That's the principle behind our kosher, yes. I mean, I don't know, but it's going to be interesting to see. But as far as Anna was talking about a mixed multitude, so does that mean that, do you think that there were perhaps Egyptians who didn't die who wanted to come along? Perhaps, and the Egyptians would say, name any country in the region Like in our country today, we have people from all over the world that are living here. And so in Egypt, it's probably the same. And so probably, maybe not. We may have 10,000 Syrians. We might. We might. And so the point is, I think, not necessarily limited to Egyptians, but foreigners, people who are non-Jewish people, who were not members of any of the 12 tribes that would come out of the land of Egypt. There were twelve tribes. Twelve tribes. Well, I'm just wondering because of the way that they were, you know, thrusting them out, and they were giving them all their jewels, if they were, they had come to, you know, I don't know. I mean, with some of them there could have just been a curiosity of sorts, because shortly after they got out of the land of Egypt, they wanted to come back, some of them. Some of them, even Jewish people wanted to come back. You know what I thought, Steve? That was you, Bill. What was your thought? Well, I mean, there were so many people who were not Jewish who witnessed the miracles during all of those plagues and heard the words of Moses and saw that these things came about. You know, unless they were dead in their minds, they must have realized that God is real. The God of Israel is a real God. He's not just some statue. And that was likely the point of the mixed multitude. I mean, coming out, there were They were mixed people from all different groups and all sorts of different societies. I'm not Jewish. I'm not a believer. That's right. Go ahead, Bob. Well, some of the other people that weren't Jewish, they were servants. Just a second, Jacob. Go ahead. They were servants that worked for the Israelites. Yes. Well, the Israelites were slaves, though. No, but not at this time. I don't know. I read that today. When they came out of Egypt, they were under bondage, the children of Israel. Jacob, what's your thought? It seemed like they... I read that today. But the sub-servants, is what you're saying. Jacob, your thought. I was surprised. Do you remember when the son of an Israelite woman whose father was an Egyptian went out among the children of Israel and this son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp and the Israelite woman's son blaspheme the name of the Lord accursed unto Moses and his mother's name was Solomon the daughter of Didri the tribe of Dan and many more. I was thinking that these were some of the mixed-blood people. In the marriage and so forth, Jacob, is what you're saying, right? That's good. That's also likely. I want to say something about it. I remember Andy saying a while back, this verse 22, Exodus here, over here in Psalm 51-7, purge me with his son, and I shall be clean, wash me, and I shall be whiter. Do you think there was any possibility that during the time that the Israelites were in Egypt that there was any intermarrying between the Israelites and the Egyptians? That's a possibility. That was what Jacob was trying to get at there with that passage that he read. So that could be another possibility of intermarriage. And granted, we do have that example that there was intermarriage to a small degree. movie, the Ten Commandments, it showed that the person who eventually, the lady that eventually became the younger pharaoh's wife, that before Moses had defected to Israel, that she actually liked Moses more than the younger pharaoh who took over Egypt at the end after the death of his father. Well, that's the interpretation of the movie. I mean, clearly, we know Moses was raised as the son or the grandson of Pharaoh and so there would have been Egyptian women probably that if he were staying in the family and not left he would have married someone that was Egyptian. Tammy? It seems like even though it could have possibly happened there could have been an intermarriage but it was probably not very likely since the Israelites were slaves. Right. That's right. An Egyptian wouldn't have wanted to marry a slave. No. But the one example that Jacob cited, that's what we're... Right, but that could have been years after... Does he know which book it was in? It's someplace in the book of Exodus, I believe. Is it Exodus or is it Leviticus? Leviticus 24, Pastor Dan. And it could have been a marriage that developed after they left. If some of the Egyptians went with, sort of like how at the time of the end, when the Lord returns, people will look for the Jews and say, we will come with you. They want to serve your God. And that's not the proper quote. Yeah, I understand. All right, mom, you thought there, by this present discussion. Exodus 12, 43. And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, this is the ordinance of the Passover. There shall no stranger eat thereof. 44, but every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 45, verse. A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof. And then in one house shall it be eaten. Thou shalt not carry forth out of the flesh abroad. That's okay. That's where I got all these questions about the servant. I know, lest it became a proselyte, then they could eat her up. Yeah. Anna, what are some of your final thoughts, your final thoughts about chapter 12 here of Exodus? I think she already gave them. Oh, you already gave your thoughts? Okay. I'm sorry. Tammy. Well, those verses that Mom read, they're sort of after where it says this is the ordinance of the Passover. I mean, so it seems like It's the law that's going to happen. I mean, okay, possibly they may have had a servant, but how could a stranger or foreigner have been circumcised before the Passover actually took place? Before the institution of the law. Before the hyssop. And I mean, how could he have been circumcised? That's before the Restorative Promise, before the law was given, these principles. So it's something that came after the fact, like you were saying. Do you have a question, Paul? Yeah, that's right. She said, you know, Pharaoh, the current Pharaoh, which could be the son of, the second son of Pharaoh, or the second born of Pharaoh, he too would have lost his firstborn as well. Everyone lost their firstborn. prayers thrown to the one sitting in the dungeon. Go ahead, your thought, thanks Elaine. In verse 48, And when a stranger sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to the Lord, that all his men must be circumcised, and then let them come near and keep it. This is when, talking about subsequent Passover's. Right, I understand that. One that is born in the land for a non-circumcised person shall he throw out. One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the strangers that sojourned among you. Thus did the children of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses' parents, so they did. I thought it was interesting what Tammy said, how the women, or the people, just gave them a juice. Please take it, please go. That was a get out of our lives. We didn't have anything we wanted. That was a thought I never had. That's a complete turnaround. position they were in with the first plague. So it's just amazing what God did through it. I kind of wonder how long it was. How many months or how many weeks. And also, it's good that she said this. Because I'm sitting here forgetting this is one of the plagues. This is one of the plagues. And she said the first plague. So this is the last plague. It's good to be reminded of that. Jacob, do you have any final thoughts there, do you? I think this book of Acts is very interesting. It's the birth of the nation of Israel becoming. He made that. That's right. It's the beginning of a birth of an angel. I mean, they've been around for quite some time, since Abraham. But this is the promise that God made to Abraham. That's what I meant to say. And so, this is when they are leaving their captivity, leaving their bondage in Egypt, and coming out, and going to their promised land. I meant by birth, I meant by the Passover. Yeah, the development, yes. New order. Exactly. Rebirth. Any more thoughts or questions or observations about Chapter 12? Big chapter, a lot of discussion here, a lot of thoughts. Mrs. Grummer, you had something to say, did you? Uh, no. Okay. Why don't we sing that song? Okay, we're going to sing a hymn here. We're going to find, lift the hymn up and we're going to sing it.

My peace is shelter under the blood, And I will pass, John, will you please close in prayer? Dear God Almighty, I come before Thee in prayer, thanking Thee so much for the precious blood of Thy Son, which was shed abroad for the remission of our sins, and has atoned for our sins as well. We thank Thee, dear Lord, that as He passed over when He saw the blood, so will the judgment of hell pass from us for those who have accepted Jesus Christ, the personal Savior, and have had our sins washed away by Christ's blood. I pray that we will live a blameless Christian testimony of Christ's likeness, Christ's love to those around us, and that we will be effective soul witnessers to the souls around us that are dying and going to hell. Of course, the most sobering reality in the world today is that people are dying and going to hell. I pray that we'll pass out the lifeline, and with the hope that they will accept Christ as Savior. We pray, Lord, thank Thee for Pastor Dan Pastor, wait for their testimony, bless them, protect them, and prosper them and their families, dear Lord, spiritually and in every way for the ministry they've had to us. And bless our night, give us safety. Amen.
